Poll: Majority of Russians dislike President Donald Trump
A new poll revealed most Russians view President Donald Trump negatively.
The poll by Russian Public Opinion Research Center concluded that only 10 percent of respondents have a favorable view of Trump, 20 percent had no opinion on the matter while 71 percent had an unfavorable view on the US president.
Seventy-seven percent said the viewed Trump as “self-centered,” and 58 percent think he is dangerous while only 16 percent called him “trustworthy.”
The poll was conducted earlier this week, ahead of the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump in Helsinki for a bilateral summit; and days before special counsel Robert Mueller announced an indictment charging 12 Russian intelligence officers with interfering in the 2016 U.S. election.

Trump said Thursday that he will raise election meddling during his meeting next week with Putin. Although 40 percent of the pollsters said they’d like cultural, security and political ties between the U.S. and Russia to strengthen, 59 percent believe nothing will fundamentally change after the summit.A
